It also says there "If you have just received your new phone as part of the Samsung Galaxy Note7 Battery Safety Recall and Exchange Program, please contact us at 1-800-SAMSUNG for assistance with your claim submission."

I tried calling, and got one person who said there is no promotion. I tried back, but got a warning message about excessive wait times...

Yesterday, I requested the Gear VR on S7 promotional page and was approved today. I received the SD card for the original Note7. For the Gear VR, I uploaded the Verizon receipt for the replacement Note7 with no issues. The recall was worth the hassle (especially since I shattered the glass on the original).

has anyone called Samsung and gotten the Content Bonus transfered over to your new Note 7's IMEI?

I just called last night and told the rep I wanted to change my IMEI. He responded with a curt (almost rude) "Why?". I explained how I got an email from Samsung instructing me to do it, then I had to walk him through my purchase history ((N7, S7E, N7) and he put me on hold for 5 or so. He came back and said they would be sending me an email within 48 hours with instructions to change it, but I'm hesitant to believe him about needing to do it over email. I'm going to call again today.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah... I knew it was going to be a long shot - but hoping it's still possible. I'll call too and report back. Mine just came in.

I got the same reply. The rep was clueless to as what I was talking about, made what should have been a 5 min call a 25 min call. Was told I would receive an email within 48 hours (called on Saturday) still nothing yet.

I just got off the phone with Samsung promotions and here is what they told me. If your new Note 7 IMEI is tied to another promotion (in my case the 256gb card), they cannot put that IMEI onto the Gear VR promotion in order to transfer the content. I don't agree, but didn't want to push too hard. I wonder if we can set up an oculus account with the old IMEI, then transfer to the new IMEI within the oculus account?

Edit: nevermind about the oculus account. I just set mine up and theres no place to add an imei.

Anyone know what the bonus content is? I had the vr from the s7 promotion and also received bonus content. If it's the same content I should be able to just log back in and re-download. Would love for someone that has already downloaded the bonus content to let us know what they received

I got a Gear Fit 2 when I preordered from Best Buy and just got approved for The Gear VR and it will be sent to my address. Nice, I would have grabbed the memory card but I already have one. The Fit 2 will come in handy in a few weeks when I get a hip replacement and my doctors app monitors S health for steps and floors. I like how it checks my heart rate routinely.

Wow. I filled out my submission today at 2:30 for the Gear VR and received my approval at 5:30. Look forward to getting it. I played with one at the PGA Championship in their tent and thought it was ok. I was not to the point that I wanted to drop $100, but for free -- it will be fun.
